  • the network communicator halts only the transmission of radio waves to the network base station and has a receivable, receive-only operation mode to receive radio waves from the network base station.
  • the network base station distributes contents through a specific channel, and the controller controls the network communicator so that contents can be received through the channel only when the network communicator is set in the receive-only operation mode. This control forces the user to switch the network controller to the receive-only operation mode to access contents distributed from the network base station, providing motivation to halt the transmission of radio waves from the mobile terminal device.
  • control is performed so that contents distributed through a predetermined channel of the network base station can be accessed only when two conditions—the user is present within the facility and the network controller is set in the receive-only mode—are satisfied. Whether the user is present can be detected in the same way as at the reception of contents from the broadcast base station.
  • entrance and exit is managed by short distance communication using, e.g., Bluetooth or the like, between the mobile terminal device and the short distance communication terminal provided at an entrance/exit gate of the facility, and the controller performs control so that information indicating entrance is stored in the storage at the time of entrance and the information is erased at the time of exit.
  • the mobile terminal device When the mobile terminal device has a position detector such as GPS, it may be used to determine whether the user is present within the facility. Also, the terminal may be provided with a detector for RFIC tag or the like to periodically search for RFID tag at the start of access to contents and during accessing of the contents. Also, it may be determined whether the user is present within the facility by determining whether a specific signal receivable within the facility can be received by the mobile terminal device when it has a detector for the signal. As a result, radio communication can be halted without bringing the mobile terminal device near the short distance communication terminal provided at the entrance/exit gate of the facility. By installing the short distance communication terminal everywhere in the facility, radio communication can be continuously halted.
